My mom has been away at a writer's retreat in the mountains. The good news--which is really terrific news--is that a New York Times bestselling author asked (and my mom says to repeat 'asked') to write the blurb for her next book. How cool is that? Now she needs to write it. It will be a funny book because we need cheering up.
We found out last night that our little old Hootie has bone cancer. He is very weak but not in pain. He still enjoys eating but it wears him out. My mom is thinking of letting him go the Bridge on Saturday--that way she can have him to hug for most of one more day.
We will try to visit everyone this week. And we have a box from Mango that we will open. Something to look forward to!!

My Mom says she knows what it is to put down a sick dog and believes it is the very kindest thing to do when there is no hope.
We will be thinking of you guys this weekend.

Not that it is ever something we want to do but to figure out where quality of life vs. our need to keep them close to us intersect is a difficult decision.
Thinking of you,

We're sending our love.

We are sorry that Hootie has cancer. Enjoy him while you have him to hold and when he goes to the bridge remember all the good times you have shared and know that he will always be in your heart. ~S,S, C & F

Hey River,
It's great news that your mummy was invited to write a blurb. How nice is that!
We're sorry to hear about Hootie and we understand that no amount of words can ever make your mummy feel good about it. It's a rough patch in life that no one will like to go through.
Nonetheless, we'll still like to let you know that we're here to render support should you need us. We'll always stand by you and your mum; we know that your mum will make decisions in the best interest of everyone.
Take care.
Love,
Sugar & Posh

Hi River,
Congrats on the runner up Hound Group in MangoMinster, you well deserve it!
I'm so sorry to hear the bad news about Hootie, thinking that your mom will have him to hug for most of one more day before letting him go just break my heart.
My mom had to let my brother Ringo go too and that was the painfulest thing she had to do.
Love you lots, wish Hootie all the comfort he could have and be brave, sweet River.
Hi River - I'm so sorry to hear about Hootie. But happy for your mom's good news about the book.
Your pal,
Joey
A big congrats to your mom for her next book! That is super cool!
We are so sorry to hear about Hootie.
We hope you and your family are doing ok today. We can only imagine what you all are going through.
Lots of Luv & Kisses

Is the book about dogs?
Do let us know the name of the book. It isn't easy to get all the new books but then these two sometimes order from Amazon.
